About

Jessica Robbins is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan.  Her research interests include aging, medical anthropology, kinship, memory, and postsocialism.  Her current ethnographic research in Wroclaw and Poznan, Poland, investigates connections between transformations in elderly personhood and changing national and state formations through the study of contemporary practices of memory.  Her research seeks to understand the social creation and unmaking of aging persons that can occur through changes in memory in personal, familial, and national contexts.
